We make raw milk cheese by hand, using traditional techniques and the highest quality fresh, local milk.

About Us

Good Hands Creamery is owned and operated by Liz Bleakley— a former physician assistant, and Nachiket Kumar— a designer.

We moved to Vermont in 2020 to expand our small urban vegetable farm and find our place. Falling in love with cheesemaking was not a part of the plan.

Our work is inspired by a love of cheese, microbiology and human health and an awe of the ancient relationship between humans and dairy animals.

We enjoy the technical and creative aspects of cheesemaking, and bringing joy to people’s faces with food.
